Cov Kid Andy Goode has no plans to hang up his Wasps jersey and retire from rugby with the club about to begin a new era in his hometown.

Reports have suggested the 34-year-old was set to retire at the end of the current season but Goode was quick to deny the rumours.

He told the Telegraph: "It's the first I've heard of it, normally a player makes a decision on their future, not a reporter.

"I've played every game for the club this season and I want to continue that 100 per record. I feel like I have at least another two years in me and the hugely exciting opportunity in Coventry gives me even more incentive to continue playing."

The former Henry VIII pupil said: "It's a brilliant price scheme, adult tickets start from £15 and a whole family of two adults and a child can watch top-class sport for £40 which represents tremendous value for money.

"I'm massively looking forward to moving to the Ricoh Arena especially in my hometown of Coventry, and I know my friends and family have all been asking about tickets to come and watch the start of something big.

"The Ricoh is a world-class facility, it will have the biggest capacity in the Aviva Premiership and will be second to none plus being a lifelong Coventry City fan it has always been a dream to play there."

The controversial switch to Coventry was announced at the start of last month and did cause some anger among Wasps supporters but Goode believes there is a now a real buzz about the move especially after more than 750 current season-ticket holders visited Coventry to get a feel for the Ricoh last Sunday.

The fly-half said:"Wasps fans are right behind the move as they have realised it was vital for the club's future and we saw that when the season tickets were at the Ricoh last weekend.

"But we also want to grow the club in the Coventry and Warwickshire area by visiting local schools and really embedding the club in the region.

"We hope to be a team that Coventry can be proud to have in their culture and in their city. It's going to be a fantastic adventure and hopefully everyone can gt right behind it."
